VRRP Concepts
This chapter describes VRRP concepts you need to know before you begin
configuring a VRRP router.
About VRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), which runs over IP, enables
you to configure router redundancy to protect a network from the irrecoverable
failure of one or more IP interfaces. VRRP manages a virtual router, which is a
software-defined object that corresponds to an IP address on a LAN segment. A
virtual router typically exists on multiple routers running VRRP (known as VRRP
routers). One of the VRRP routers acts as the master virtual router for an IP
address, while other VRRP routers act as backup virtual routers.
You identify each virtual router using a virtual router identifier (VRID) and a
virtual router IP address. All VRRP routers on a LAN segment must have the
same VRID and IP address. You can, however, use a VRID on more than one LAN
as long as you pair it with a different virtual router IP address. The scope of each
virtual router is restricted to a single LAN.

Master Virtual Router
The master virtual router is the VRRP router responsible for forwarding the traffic
received at the MAC address associated with the virtual router IP address. A
VRRP router with the highest priority assumes the responsibilities of the master
virtual router. When the master virtual router fails, one of the backup virtual
routers becomes the master virtual router.
Backup Virtual Routers
If the master virtual router becomes unavailable or if it is not functioning
normally, VRRP dynamically switches over to one of the backup virtual routers,
in the order of the priority you set.
If more than one backup virtual router has the same priority assigned to it, the
VRRP router with the greater primary IP address will become the new master
virtual router.
Critical IP Interfaces
You can establish a critical IP address, which is a physical IP interface on a local
router, for each virtual router. If that critical IP interface fails, then VRRP switches
to another virtual router. Figure 1-3 on page 1-5 shows a sample VRRP
configuration using a critical IP interface.
VRRP Messaging
VRRP generates VRRP advertisement messages as IP multicast datagrams,
enabling VRRP to operate over a variety of multiaccess LAN technologies that
support IP multicasting.
VRRP Concepts
304138-A Rev 00
1-3
Planning Your Network
You can use VRRP to target stub networks with hosts having default gateway
addresses to provide redundancy for IP addresses. To avoid a single point of
failure, you should configure the default gateway IP address as the virtual router
IP address on multiple IP interfaces on different physical routers. Refer to the
following sample configurations when determining how to configure VRRP in
your network.
Sample Configurations
The configuration in Figure 1-1 shows a simple VRRP scenario in which both
router A and router B are running VRRP. The end hosts install a default route to
the IP address of router A, which serves as the master virtual router for virtual
router 1. If router A fails, then router B becomes the master virtual router for
virtual router 1.

The configuration in Figure 1-2 shows that half of the hosts install a default route
to VRRP router As IP address (1.1.1.1), and the other half install a default route to
VRRP router B’s IP address (2.2.2.2). Using two different default routes has the
effect of load-balancing the outgoing traffic, while also providing full redundancy.

The configuration in Figure 1-3 shows that IP address 1.1.1.1 provides
connectivity to external networks. If that connection fails and the virtual router 1
on router B continues to forward traffic, you still lose connectivity to external
networks. However, if you designate IP address 1.1.1.1 as the critical IP address
for virtual router 1 on router B, and IP address 1.1.1.1 fails, then virtual router 1
on router A becomes the master virtual router and begins forwarding traffic.

Figure 1-4 shows an invalid VRRP configuration; that is, the virtual router with
primary IP address 1.1.1.1 is not configured on a VRRP router that has a physical
interface with IP address 1.1.1.1. You must always configure a virtual router
whose IP address physically exists on the LAN. For example, you must configure
virtual router 1 on router A, because the IP address of virtual router 1 is the same
as the physical address of router A.

Starting VRRP Services Using Site Manager
You must configure IP services on a router before you can configure VRRP. See
Configuring IP Services for information about how to configure IP.
You can create a basic virtual router configuration by supplying only the required
configuration information and accepting the default values for all other Site
Manager parameters.
Configuring a Virtual Router
When configuring a virtual router, you must supply the following:
Primary IP address
The primary IP address associates a virtual router with the IP address of the
physical interface. You cannot change the primary IP address after you
configure a virtual router. If this primary IP address matches the virtual router
IP address and the virtual router has the highest priority of 255, then this
VRRP router becomes the master virtual router, if it is available.
Caution:
You should not configure an Ethernet interface as the master virtual
router on an ANH
router.
Configuring VRRP Services
2-2
304138-A Rev 00
Virtual router ID
The virtual router ID (VRID) identifies the virtual router. VRRP uses the
virtual router ID to calculate the virtual router’s virtual MAC address. If the
virtual router is in the primary virtual router state, it responds to all ARP
requests using the IP address of the virtual router with its virtual MAC
address, not its physical MAC address. You cannot change the virtual router
ID after you configure a virtual router.
Virtual router IP address
The virtual router IP address identifies the IP address that the virtual router
backs up.
To configure a virtual router, complete the following tasks:
Caution: If you are configuring virtual routers on the IP interface used as the
Site Manager management console, you should not add or modify a backup
virtual router before you create a master virtual router. Otherwise, you can lose
connectivity to the router when dynamically configuring virtual routers. Use
local or remote mode when configuring a virtual router.
